Giving Up

So I'd been working on this relatively easy scarf that was lacy with a bunch of yarn-overs and had many re-starts then was making some progress.  A coupla days ago at the last 2 stitches of the row, they fell off, dropped stitches were had and I threw up my hands and said "nope, done with this!"  Well that's not exactly what I said, there were many expletives but you get my drift.  I just decided it wasn't worth the effort and when a project ceases to be fun and enjoyable, well that's the end of that....my new mantra.   Life's too short to tear my hair out at least most of the time. 
I'm determined to get back to my Knit Swirl Jacket I started and stopped since last November.  Mostly stopped especially during the entire summer as it was getting too big as a travel project and I've been doing A LOT of traveling.  I started the sleeves but they just don't look quite right so I'm off to Nikki's Knots on Saturday for some help so I can get it done once and for wall and actually wear it this fall or winter. 
Here's what it's supposed to look like when it's done.  It's done in worsted Belgium Chocolate with lace weight black in between.  Very soft, nice drape and looks mink-coat like.
